April 17th - 21st 2017

Please make sure to
purchase your child’s ASB card a.s.a.p so they can participate in our field
trip. They cost $5.00 and can be
purchased in the office. ASB cards help
us pay for the field trip.

I will be doing our 3rd
week progress monitoring next week! I am excited to see how far our kiddos have
come this month!! Things I check each month until they’ve mastered it two
months in a row are: upper case identification, lower case identification,
letter sounds, sight words (starting with our word wall words and moving on),
identification of numbers 0-20, and counting to 100. These are all some of the kindergarten
standards our kiddos must meet!

-What we’ve been learning-

Classroom, playground,
& cafeteria safety. What it looks
and sounds like. We also took a look at
ways we can help our earth with the 3 R’s: Recycle, Reuse, & Reduce.

Letters: Jj & Ww

Words: here, go, from

Writing: We are going to
continue to work on extending our writing from 1-2 sentences to 2-3. We will be focusing on this for the next
several weeks as this is a big transition and reviews other skills (upper case
first letters, ending marks, sounding words out, etc.) while practicing the new
skill of extending our thoughts and words.

Math: Simple subtraction

-What we will be working on-

Working nicely on all of
our work. As we begin to write more and
more our penmanship has started to decrease.
We are going to be really focusing on making sure our writing is nice
and neat no matter what we are working on.

Letters: Xx

Words: Yellow, Blue, Green
